ROAST B EEF.


How to Prepare 1t and How to Roast
[By Mrs Emma P Ewing, Dean of the School of
Domestic Economy, Iowa Agricultural Col
legel
A quite popular writer on culinary sub
jects says: "In roasting beef do not put it
at first into a very hot oven, but have good
fire, growing hotter, that will make the heat
brisk and sustain it after the meat is heated
through. Let it heat gradually and yield
some portion of the juice for gravy before
you seal up the surface by browning. A
joint of beef after being well washed and
trimmed should be rubbed evenly with fine
salt before being put to roast. Put in at
first pint of water, with teaspoonful of
salt for basting. If you follow this method
carefully there will be no trouble with the
gravy" It is to be hoped not. This meth
cd here recommended is no doubt an excel
lent one for producing good gravy; and if
the production of good gravy was the end in
view, might pass unchallenged as a model
method for making it. But is it altogether
fair to the roast to sacrifice it for the sake of
the gravy, when it Is so easy to produce
good stock for gravy from odds and ends
and tough pieces of meat? Everyone who
will unhesitatingly answer in the negative
In roasting meats of all kinds the method
adopted should be the one that in the most
perfect manner preserves all the juices in
side the meat. To roast beef in the best
possible manner: Place the clean cut side
of the meat upon smoking hot pan which
must be over quick fire. Press it close to
the pan until scared and slightly brown. Re
verse and let the opposite side become SINH
larly scared and brown. Then put it at once
in the oven, the heat of which should be
firm and steady, but not too intense, and
leave it undisturbed till cooked. The time
that should be allowed for cooking beef in
this manner is twenty minutes to the pound
if it is to be rare-lsss half an hour deduct.
ed from the aggregate time on account OF
soaring. In other words a fve-pound of
roast beef will require about an hour and
quarter, six-pound roast an hour ana
half and so on. If the oven is not too hot
the beef requires no basting and Is better
without it. When the oven is at the proper
temperature and the cooking going on all
right, the meat will keep up gentle sput-
tering in the pan. If, upon opening the
oven door, this sputtering is not pefceptlble
mere heat is required But if, in addition
to the sputtering, any smoke Is dlscern1ble
| in the oven, the heat is too intense and
should be lessened Unless the heat of the
oven is too great the drlPplngs In the pan
will not burn and smoke, and when the
meat is cooked there will be thin coating
| of brown jelly in the pan where the meat
| rested, which by the addition of stock or
| water will make delicious gravy.
A roast of beef should never be washed,
| and if it has accidentally been wet or moist
ened it should be carefully wiped dry before
| it is scared or put to cook. Soaring almost
instantly coats the cut side of piece of

PUBLIC OFFICE PUBLIC TRUST.

PUBLIC OFFICE A PUBLIC TRUST.
Public office is public trust, but, as is
well known, all good Democrats believe that
when a Democratic President is in power, the
only way in which public Office can be plain
ly shown to be public trust is by the prompt
election of Republican ofieeholders and the
appointment of sound Democrats The
President, when he first began to rule, ap-
parently did not hold this view. He declared
that non-politicaI officers ''should not be
removed during the terms for which they
were appointed, solely on partisan grounds
and for the purpose of putting in their places
those who are in political accord with the
appointing power" He also affirmed that
there should be reliance upon ''merit and
fitness" in applicants for Office, 'instead of a
dependence upon the caprice or selfish inter
est of those who impudently stand between
the people and the machinery of their gov
ernment."
The time when another Democratic presi-
dental convention will be held is fast ap-
preaching, and the question whether Presi-
dent Cleveland has made upon the Demo-
cratic party the impression that ne is good
enough Democrat to be renominated is i'm
portant Two utterances made yesterday
have very significant bearing upon this
question. The New York World declared
that President Cleveland has been applying
reform principles only where it seemed to be
for his interest to do SO, and has totally dis
regarded these principles where that course
seemed the better policy. "His idea has APP
peared to be that while the Democratic party
was useful in nominating him, the mug
election And the Inconsistencies of his
acts have, as we have had occasion frequent
ly to point out, done the cause of Civil Ser
vice reform great harm" The World further
says: ''It is as unjust as it is absurd to rep
resent the President as either the victim or
the conqueror of the 'antireform element
in his party What he has done in either
direction he has done with his eyes open, and
has stuck to it." And the Sun said that
there are three mistaken notions, each more
or less popular. These notions are: That
Mr.. Cleveland has been constrained by the
Civil Service law, which applies to about
fifteen thousand Offices only. to adopt gen
eral policy of keeping Republicans in Office
and Democrats out. That he was elected
upon any pledge or understanding that such
would be his policy if elected. That he ever
said in writing that he would not accept a
second term.
Here we find the greatest Democratic paper
in the country declaring that the President
is not much of reformer, and another great
Democratic paper correcting some mistaken
notions" concerning him. And in the South
Henry Watterson's paper is distinctly against
his denomination. All of which is very in
teresting.

An Awkward Incident.

An awkward incident occurred on Com
monwealth avenue recently. Parties were
given on the same evening in two houses
which stand side by side, and one of those
couples who are born to do stupid things, in
stead of getting into the mansion of the B. .'s
managed to join the guests in the parlor of
Mrs. A. They seemed somewhat confused
and attracted the notice of the host, who
asked his wife who they were.
sspm sure I don't know" she answered.
s'I didn't catch the name, but they came with
the C.'s.''
Mr.. A. accordingly sought Mr.. G. and ask
ed him the name of the strangers he had
brought with him.
''They do not seem to know anybody" he
added, land should like to present them to
somebody"
s'But my wife and came alone" Mr.. c.
replied. s'We did not bring anybody. l
don't know those people you point out"
More puzzled than ever, Mr.. A. ven
tured boldly up to the strange pair, who
were stupidity staring about to discover a
familiar face.
"Pa1den me-" he said, "but may
not present you to some ones L did not
catch your Names but 1 shall be glad to
make you acquainted with anyone you
wish.'
The lady gazed at him with a bewildered
face.
81 don't see wi ere all the people we know
are" sine said hopelessly. 81 haven't even
been able to find Nh. and Mrs. B. yet"
':Oh, you will find them" Mr.. A., said
smiling as the situation dawned on him, lat
home next door"
With profuse apologies the vagrant
pair retreatea toward the dressing,rooms,
but at the parlor door they turned and came
back.
'sIt's so late,'' the lady said with an air
that at once proclaimed her close kin to
the Peterkins, 'don't you think we might
90 home instead of trying to go TO MIR. B S at
alIE'
Mr.. A. regarded her in amused silence
a moment Then he laughed frankly, and
answered:
''Well, since you ask me-yes, think you'd
better go home"

the after process of roasting, while firm,
steady heat gently but thoroughly cooks it,
and thus both juices and flavor are pre-
served. Basting is troublesome as well as
damaging process. And as salt and water
have tendency to tougher and extract the
juices of meat, they should not be used on
it while roasting if it is desired to have the
meat sweet iuicy and tender.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Charity ball was a great success.

The majestic walking delegate is losing his
popularity in New York. He may yet have
to work.
In a police court report reprinted in the
Liverpool Post it is set down that Joseph
Shields, notorious thief, was discharged
by the court upon his promise that he would
go to New York. No more thieves are
needed in New York
Mr.. Charles H. Clark, who has been for
many years prominent and useful member
of the Hartford Courant, has become an
equal owner in the Courant by the purchase
of a fifth share in the partnership in the
newspaper and the Courant building. The
firm of Hawley, Goodrich & Co. now con-
sists of Joseph R. Hawley, Charles D. War
ner, Stephen A. Hubbard, William II. Good
rich and Charles q. Clark. We congratulate
both Mr.. Clark and his copartn ers. He will
added strength to the firm.
Mr.. William D. Murphy, a well known
Democrat of Albany, is reported express
ing the following opinion: "Cleveland can
never carry this State again. He shameful
ly violated the pledges on which he came in
to power, and the mass of the Democrats
here are fleeing from him. In this county
for example, his majority when elected Gov
ernor was ten thousand, and only six hun
dred when chosen president But, if ever
he is candidate again, the county will go
ten thousand the other way" This, of
course, means that the Republican officehold-
ers have not been turned out fast enough to
suit Mr.. Murphy and those who think with
him.
The Rev. Jonathan Crassett, who has been
for seventeen years missionary in Chit a,
says that one section of China is still un-
| touched by the missionaries-the Mongols
living to ths north and west. The Mongols
| go down to Lassa in Thibet as to a Mecca,
and evidence can be found among them of
| the teachings of the early Christians. They
are the most tenacious as to their religion of
any people whom he had ever met. Their
| deity is called Borhan, or eight" and their
| belief-Lanaisn-is founded upon tenets
| held by all Christians. They observe one
| day in every seven, and although they wor-
ship idols, they have ten commandments
similar to the biblical commandments, and
their system of morals is very high.
The frauds recently revealed in Chicago
are interesting. A regular system of swind-
ling appears to have been practiced in sup
plying the various county institutions and
the most barefaced deceptions are recorded
| One of the tricks, which will serve as an sx-
ample of the system, consisted OF sending
loaded coal teams to one or another of the
institutions just at dusk, having them
weighed and receipted, and then leaving
them unloaded to be removed in the night
and then returned in the morning and re-
ceived and paid for a second time. The

The "Pratt Institute of Brooklyn" bill
for the Incorporation of which is now before
the New York legislature, will be an inter-
esting school It is the embodiment of
schsme of industrial education put forth by
Charles Pratt of the Standard oil company.
It is intended to provide those young men
and women whose natural inclinations are
toward mechanics and the arts rather than
a collegiate training with such technical
training as will enable them to earn their
own living. The trades taught will be so
varied that any bent can be gratifed; and
it is expected that any pupil leaving the in
stitution will not only have received the prac-
tical training of an apprenticeship, but will
have picked up great deal of valuable in
formation in kindred subjects, which he
could gain neither by apprenticeship nor by
a college course. Particular attention will be
paid to the course of young women, who
will be thoroughly instructed in sewing, cook
ing and the art of home edornment, and also
in stenography, telegraphy, typewriting,
bookkeeping, or any other appropriate branch
of industry. The institution will not be en-
tirely free, but tuition charges will be nomi-
nal, and the income from the endowment
and other sources will furnish almost its en-
tire suDport

The following card from a well-known
citizen is selt-explanatory, and will be
read with interest:
To the Editor of the Register:
SIR:-This morning l commence the
fifteenth year of continuous business in
this city as the proprietor Of q restaurant,
and | deem it proper that a few words of
thanks should be returned to the citizens
of this community for the hearty support
they have ever accorded nj since the in
auguration of my business. l came here
from the South an entire stranger. On a
chance visit to the town about the begin
ming of 1872, an incident occurring in a
restaurant on Twelfth street, impressed me
very much. 1t opened my eyes to the fact
that a man could not get a meal here short
of half dollar. ] had been in the grocery
business in Louisville for nine or ten years,
and / knew that such prices were not JUS
titled by the retail prices. l went back to
Louisville, closed out my business, and
coming 70 Wheeling opened a restaurant
with the price of meals at 25 cents. Ev-
cry one predicted that ! would fail, and !
at once secured the enmity of all the other
restaurant keepers in the city. The PEG.
pie, however, appreciated the innovation,
and they have accorded me their hearty
support. For this | thank them. Not
only has my patronage been all that /
could ask, but / have been accorded many
fovors and much help by others, Notably
the banks OF the city. In the future, as
in the past, l hope to add TO the custom
| have thus far enjoyed, and will endeavor
to at all times deserve the patronage Of
the general public.
